Because of the word "cumulative". What that means is that the height of the graph for any value (X=x) is the number (or proportion) of observations that were less than or equal to the value x.

Now consider the cumulative value of the graph for a value of X which is bigger than x. All the previous observations were ≤ x and so they will be ≤ the newer, larger value. So the height of the cumulative graph cannot decrease. It may increase if there are any observations whose value was between x and the new value.

A polynomial of degree zero is a constant term

The grouping method of factoring can still be used when only some of the terms share a common factor A True B False

The sum or difference of p and q is the of the x-term in the trinomial

A number a power of a variable or a product of the two is a monomial while a polynomial is the of monomials

In GSM which frequency uplink or downlink is greater?

Up-link freq is higher than down-link freq in GSM You answer is wrong Correct answer is that, down-link frequency is greater than the up-link frequency in GSM. Up-link Frequency = 890 MHz - 915 MHz Down-link Frequency = 935 MHz - 960 MHz
